Toronto Blue Jays SP Luis Perez (elbow) has been working out at the team's minor league complex and could start a rehab assignment next week. Perez could return before the end of the season, and the team would prefer to see how he looks in a major league setting before next year. Perez is a candidate to fill a left-handed spot in the bullpen next season.

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed RP Luis Perez (elbow) on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow injury. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of P Aaron Loup from Double-A New Hampshire.
